In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, it features an article entitled, "Alex Recognizes Carmine"

While Carmine is bartending at On The Boulevard Restaurant, Alex arrives. Carmine asks if he can get him anything. Alex looks up and says, “I know you,” but Carmine brushes it off and says he doesn’t look familiar. Alex asks Carmine if he’s from New York. Carmine knows Alex but he doesn’t want to let on. Carmine’s dad had mob ties and he’s tried to stay out of the business. Still he’s always getting crap for his family. Carmine lies and says he grew up in Detroit. Then Alex shows Carmine a picture a girl and of Noah. Carmine doesn’t recognize the girl but laments on Noah’s quick temper, which Alex finds interesting.
